I know it'll be a bit of a heavy workload, but it'd be neat if you could put a genre list for each system, Action / Adventure, RPG, Simulation, etc. Something to think about for the future maybe?
This is something that I've personally brought up in the past. It's very possible, but for now we have quite a bit on the mod plate of things to do. If we ever get to doing this and I'm still around, I would probably take on the challenge to organize the games by genre.
It's come up before. Honestly I don't see the harm if we put an rpg tag on a zelda game. The people who know it's not aren't effected by it and the people who think it's an rpg can find it easier.

I don't see why it couldn't be labelled as an RPG.
It has town(s), you can buy items at shops, you go to dungeons and fight bosses and progress through the game. You get progressively better weaponry / item, you talk to NPC's, you do sidequests. It has everything most RPG's have, lacking the experience of course.
I know it's a long term plan ARLD. This is very important to me as well, as I enjoy searching for things by genre.
As for tags, I suppose some games could have more than one theorectically. I don't know if it would be technically possible. That would be a question for the Kongger.
